Instructions
1
In a medium saucepan, bring 1/4 cup of water to a simmer over medium heat.
2
Add the chopped onion and green bell pepper to the pan. Sauté them in the simmering water for about 3-5 minutes, or until the peppers reach your desired tenderness.
3
Stir in the garlic powder, chopped tomato, dried basil, and oregano. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the tomatoes become soft and fragrant.
4
Mix in the refried beans and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and bubbling, about 3-4 minutes.
5
While the bean and vegetable mixture is heating, scramble the eggs in a separate bowl. Cook them in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until they reach your preferred level of doneness.
6
In a dry skillet, warm the whole wheat tortilla for about 15 seconds on each side until pliable.
7
To assemble your burrito, place the warm tortilla on a serving dish. Spoon the refried beans and vegetable mixture into the center, followed by the scrambled eggs.
8
Fold the right and left sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll from the top down to create a burrito shape.
9
Serve immediately with a generous drizzle of salsa on top, or on the side for dipping.
